This was the ibex fairstay training and networking day

What does it mean today to run a hotel business sustainably and assess possible risks? Where can I find the right information for me in the mass of information available? And how do employees become co-thinkers? At the ibex fairstay training and networking day, we explored these topics, were inspired by forward-looking input presentations and took a look behind the scenes at the Hotel Restaurant Militärkantine. We also enjoyed the valuable and inspiring exchange with each other. Read more in the press release

Inspiring presentations with practical relevance

Saving resources in the long term

If even the Federal Council is actively committed to saving resources, then it no longer has anything to do with the voluntary actions and ideology of individuals. We would do well to find long-term solutions that are not only easy on the wallet, but also meet the binding climate targets. What thoughts motivate a planner when optimizing and renovating existing buildings?

Our speaker Marcel Michel gave an insight into his broad practical knowledge

Where can I get professional and financial support?

Daily business leaves hoteliers hardly any time to find out about innovations, track down possible sources of support or tap into subsidies. Markus Hurschler from Foodways gave us an overview at the ibex fairstay training and networking day.

Risk management in the hotel industry

The challenges have been increasing rapidly in recent times and demand a high degree of flexibility and innovative thinking from tourism professionals. Those who are aware of these risks can react more quickly, minimize the damage or seize the opportunity. In her presentation, the committed young specialist Laura Walter took a practical look at the cornerstones of risk management.

From employee to contributor

Leading and working positively means focusing on human strengths and achieving good results as a team with joy and motivation. Liliane Blurtschi's keynote speech introduced us to the "Positive Leadership" model. 

We were inspired by "Positive Leadership"

Our venue: Military canteen St. Gallen

The Hotel Restaurant Militärkantine has been sustainable since it opened in 2014: regional and seasonal cuisine, awareness of social responsibility among employees and careful use of resources was and is not a marketing strategy, but its fundamental attitude. The military canteen was the perfect location for our training and networking day.
